In loving memory of Peter Cochrane
Peter was kind, enthusiastic and immeasurably thoughtful. He was a loving husband and devoted and proud father of two teenage girls. His sense of fun and zest for life were familiar to all who knew him.
Peter loved dining out, socialising with friends and family, reading, going to movies and theatre, listening to music and gardening. He immersed himself in the cultural life of the places he lived.
Peter had a very successful career as a journalist, writer and editor, specialising in the arts during his career on The Sydney Morning Herald, and later working to create beautiful publications and content for the University of Tasmania.
We will miss him every single day.
